You are a dear not to mind my long silences and to keep on writing when I really don't deserve it - I am looking forward to your visit in September when we can have long talks about art - I am so glad you like Miss Goldthwaite she is so true and real - It is a great comfort to have her with me. Little by little the III Roses is losing its crudeness and getting more finished. Now that my piazza is finished and furnished it is a place we live in more and more - and the garden is looking like something more than a patch of brown earth. My swimming pool is begun - next year I hope to put up the bath houses & a little tea house combined - which I think will be sweet - Eventually the pool will be lovely when I get the planting done around it. It will be lovely to paint.
